At Hyundai Motor’s Jeonju plant in Wanju-gun, Jeollabuk-do, employees were confirmed one after another.
This is the second time after the outbreak of mass infection in December last year.
Some of these confirmed cases have been confirmed to have visited other areas during the Lunar New Year holidays, and the quarantine authorities are investigating the connection.

In the Samsung Electronics Gwangju factory, 4 employees were confirmed, and infection cases in the factory are continuing regardless of region.
Infection spread from the Asan plant and Namyangju plastic manufacturing plant to the family and acquaintances of the cricket boiler.
As a result of the investigation by the quarantine authorities, the factories were found to have been vulnerable to infection.
It has become a problem that ventilation of the workplace is not properly performed or foreign workers who are illegally staying in dormitories have been crowded in dormitories.
The Central Quarantine Countermeasure Headquarters, which saw the situation as unusual, started to strengthen quarantine for large-scale business sites.

The quarantine authorities are keenly aware of the spread of the infection, with each local government being inspected for quarantine regulations for workplaces with less than 50 employees and preemptive inspections for foreign workers.
